CAPT: wow...thats shiny. The whole front of your bike seems super clean.
So far I've sanded the rusty bits on the frame, started sanding the rad (and getting all the dead bugs out the fins), sanded the exhaust collars and started cleaning up the studs. All the flange nuts came off slightly easier than i thought (due to plusGas) but i couldn't shift one.....i thought i was turning off till i realised it was the stud turning out. :\
all this came out of just taking my forks out for an overhaul, then i thought i mights as well repack the head bearings, then i thought i will drop the rad off to clean up, that gave me access to the exhaust studs and rust by the head tube, then i noticed a thermo connector that was unplugged. Now I'm thinking i might get the plugs out as i have easy access and gap/clean them.
Once its all back together....time for a new rear shock
